Bollywood is coming to Bermuda!

Songs from the "mega-budget" Indian movie 'Veera' are to be filmed on the Island this September.

Indian film production house Tolly2Holly Films, led by producer Ganesh Indukuri, is currently filming the Bollywood extravaganza.

This week Mr. Indukuri, director Ramesh Varma, executive producer Ravi Mudunuri and assistant director Murali Krishna, visited Bermuda to choose locations for their song sequences.

Premier Ewart Brown, Minister of Tourism and Transport, said: "I am very pleased with these early results of working to extend Bermuda's reach to important global markets.

"Our beauty and our well-developed infrastructure have been discovered by an important, successful industry and Bermuda will reap the benefits of this exposure."

Ven Subramanian, who led the Indian Delegation to Bermuda and who coordinated the Premier's visit to India, will be the liaison and coordinator for the filming.
